Your childhood sounds like the perfect dream to me. I LOVE feeling that I’m the only human on earth:)
When I climbed out of a 747 at dawn in Fiji, it felt like the first morning of the world. Was up at dawn every day there to watch the sunrise, gorgeous, dewy, so fragrant that you feel blessed just to breathe. Heavenly.
You got survival skills, I got poetry. It’s exactly who we were meant to be.
Pity those poor kids today who are never allowed a minute to themselves to figure out what their hearts need.

Reminded me of my first arrival in Tahiti & then Moorea back in the 1970s. That fragrance! Your post brought it back.
